From Harold:Witty whodunits would be theFlavia de Luce series by Alan Bradley - lots of fun.

From CM in Creston:This summer I am currently reading John LeCarre's A Delicate Truth.

From Uta Van Ziffle:After being entranced with the movie Les Miserables earlier this year, (I must be one of the few that had not seen a live version or movie, or read the book previously) I picked up the book. This is summer reading that will fill a good part of the summer. Usually I like to read a book before seeing the movie so as not to taint the images in my brain, but imagining Hugh Jackman's character as I read this book is not distasteful:) Reading this after the movie actually helps fill in many details. This book goes into great detail(!) in the development of the characters and events both surrounding the story of Jean Valjean as well as corresponding history of the French Revolution. Fascinating, enjoyable.

From Gord Henderson:I've been reading a series called "The Wheel of Time" by Robert Jordan. Just before Christmas, 2011 Rex Murphy's XCountry Checkup had callers suggest books to give as presents. One caller's review of "The Wheel of Time" had me searching the ORL the next day. Jordan has been called "the author who took over where Tolkien left off". I would absolutely agree.
